Juan Mata attracting MLS interest ahead of Manchester United exit

Juan Mata has offers to play in the MLS when his Manchester United contract expires in the summer.

Mata, who turns 34 on April 28, is considering options to play in the United States as he wants to prolong his playing career. The Spaniard is out of contract at United on June 30 and is due to be released after eight-and-a-half years at the club.

United triggered the one-year extension in Mata's contract last summer but he has started only twice this season. Mata also came on in the final seconds of the Champions League win at Villarreal, the FA Cup fourth round tie with Middlesbrough to convert a penalty in the shootout defeat and emerged late on in the round-of-16 defeat to Atletico Madrid.
